Lotus Cars Limited has announced that it will begin production of a new series of sports cars including the Type 131. Unfortunately, the British brand will stop production of its Elise, Exige and Evora by the end this year.
The new lineup of vehicles will be manufactured at its new facility in Hethel, Norfolk in England. The new investment is part of Lotus’ Vision80 strategy where it will combine two Lotus sub-assembly facilities into one efficient central operation in Norwich city to support higher volumes. As shown above, Lotus has released a teaser which provides a glimpse of the new products that will follow the Elise, Exige and Evora. The three iconic models will receive a proper send-off with a host of activities planned starting with the Lotus Elise.
